1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundIn the last decade, confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) has emerged as a new endoscopic imaging modality for real-time CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed by ultrasound with a polyp of 21 mm in the gallbladder wall. She consented to polyp removal by laparoscopic choledo-choscopy. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with choledochoscopic polyp resection, CLE was used to observe the morphology of the polyp surface cells. The appearance of the mucosa and microvessels in various parts of the gallbladder were also observed under CLE. Through comparison between postoperative pathology and intraoperative CLE diagnosis, the reliability of intraoperative CLE diagnosis was confirmed. CLE is a reliable method to examine living cell pathology during cholecystectomy. Based on our practice, CLE should be prioritized in the diagnosis of gallbladder polyps.

conclusionCompared with traditional histological examination, CLE has several advantages. We believe that CLE has great potential in this field.
